"Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulcher, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher. And they entered in and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: and as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here but is risen remember how he spoke unto you when he was yet in Galilee, saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. And they remembered his words, and returned from the sepulcher, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles (Luke 24:1-10).
When Mary and the mother of James, and his brother Salome, came to anoint Jesus' body with spices, as a way of paying their respects, He was not there. The Angel of the Lord witnessed to the women by explaining that Jesus is risen (Resurrected) and is no longer in the place where He was laid (Mark 16:1-6). Straight away the women ran to witness and tell the story (Gospel) of Jesus. They did so out of faith in what they were taught about the day of the Lord (Luke 24:6-9).
The Word of God (Jesus) is Alive and Active
Jesus said to the Samaritan woman,'.... the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. .... I that speak unto thee am He (John 4:23,24,26). Peter had to explain to all of the non-believers that what they were hearing,, but not perceiving, weren't drunken words but words of prophecy stated before by the prophet Joel saying "......And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, And signs in the earth beneath; Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, before that great and notable Day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Acts 2:16-21).
Son-day
"Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and that hour know no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray for ye know not when the time is (Mark 13:31-33).
Have Faith; Believe
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (John 3:16-17). Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. Put your life in His hands. have a blessed stress-free worry-free day on purpose, and never stop believing Jesus paid it all. Never stop never give in. Every day is Son-day. "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
